t-5 days

So my time at the oxford base is quickly coming to an end, as I leave for Thailand in 5 very short days.
my time here has been amazing, but I don't want to reflect too much because it isn't over yet, and so I don't want to get into that mindset yet.
However, this will be my last blog on here for a while, but I will post the link to my Thailand teams blog, which will be updated far more regularly than this one. Apologies once again for that.

But as a parting message, for a while at least, I will leave you with a little taste of the daily things I encounter here in Oxford.

-7 different languages (including "american")
-countless sheep
- pressing a button on the top of the toilet or on the wall to flush
-light switches that go down to go on
